Changelog for haddock-0.9

Changes in version 0.9:
* Infix type operators, e.g., first :: a~>a' -> (a,b)~>(a',b)
* Add a search box to the index page which automatically narrows
the index to the search as you type (thanks to Neil Mitchell).
* Add a --ghc-pkg flag
* Add a flag --allow-missing-html
* URL expansion for %%, %L, %{LINE}
* added substitution %{FILE///c}
* Lexing of /.../ is now more like '...', in that a / character must
be matched by another / character on the same line, otherwise it
is treated as a literal '/'. This removes a common source of
accidental parse errors in documentation.
* Various bugs were fixed.
* Cabal 1.2 is now required, and Haddock builds with GHC 6.8.x.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 0.8:
* Haddock has a Cabal build system, and will build on Windows without
Cygwin or MSYS. GHC 6.4 or later is required.
* New options: --comments-base, --comments-module, --comments-entity
for generating links to pages (eg. wiki) for collecting user comments.
* New options: --source-base, --source-module, --source-entity
for generating links to source code. Haddock now understands
{-# LINE #-} pragmas, which means it can figure out the correct
name for the source file even if the file is preprocessed.
* Haddock generates output for populating the Hoogle search engine.
* New markup <<url>> for including images.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 0.7:
* Changes in the way Haddock decides where to direct hyperlinks. Each entity
is now assigned a single "home" module, and all hyperlinks are directed
to that module. See the docs ("Hyperlinking and re-exported entities")
for details.
* New options --ignore-all-exports, --hide
* New option --use-package for creating documentation that hyperlinks to
the HTML documentation for existing packages on your system. It works
by querying ghc-pkg for the location of the Haddock interface and
HTML for the given package.
* Parts of the HTML documentation, notably lists of instances, are
now "collapsible" with a +/- button. Also, the contents page is now
in the form of tree in which subtrees can be collapsed.
* Support for Microsoft DevHelp and HtmlHelp 2.0 formats.
* Support for a short description for each module for the contents page.
* Compiles with GHC 6.4+
* Various bugfixes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 0.6:
* Implicit parameters, zip comprehensions and 'mdo' are now
supported by the parser.
* Some lexical bugs were fixed, mainly concerning literal paragraphs
next to non-literal paragraphs.
* New options: --gen-index, --use-index, --gen-contents and --use-contents,
for generting a combined index and contents for several libraries
from the appropriate .haddock files.
* There is now one index rather than separate Function/Constructor and
Type/Class indices. Where a name refers to several entities, these
are listed separately in the index.
* New option: -v, elicits more verbose warnings. Some warnings are
now turned off by default; Haddock should be a little less noisy
in general.
* Markup for definition lists has been added. See the documentation
for details.
* New option: --package for setting the package name. The package
is listed alongside each module name in the combined contents.
* Entities which are re-exported from another package now at least
leave a hyperlink in the generated HTML, rather than nothing at all.
* Some fixes for bugs which caused incorrect hyperlinks in the
generated HTML. In particular, instances should now be linked
correctly.
* Some aesthetic improvements to the generated HTML.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 0.5:
* Compiles with recent versions of GHC.
* A few bugs have been fixed.
* New labelling/linking feature (see "Anchors" in the manual).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 0.4:
* Import declarations which list entities in parentheses, or with
hiding clauses, are now properly supported. Modulo one or two
small infelicities, the full Haskell modules system is now supported.
* Haddock is now more flexible about the placing of separators
(commas, semicolons) in relation to doc comments.
* There is support for generating and reading "interface files"
which describe the exports of a set of modules. This is useful
for generating documentation which hyperlinks to
previously-generated documentation.
* Support for generating the extra files required by the Microsoft
Help compiler.
* New option: --prologue specifies a file of documentation which is
placed on the contents page.
* Many bugs fixed
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 0.3:
* Documentation on individual function arguments is now implemented
* Links can be made to identifiers that aren't in scope, by using
the fully qualified name.
* Instances are collected and listed with the appropriate classes
and datatypes (not for derived instances yet).
* Single quotes are only interpreted specially when they surround a
legal Haskell identifier, otherwise they are treated literally.
* Bird-tracked text is now literal. If you want marked-up text in
a code block, use the @...@ notation instead.
* Various changes to the layout, it generally looks nicer now.
* Various bugs fixed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 0.2:
* The [...] markup for typewriter font has been changed to @...@.
* Module attributes introduced (see the documentation for details).
* {- ... -} style comments may now be used for documentation annotations
* Recursive modules are detected and reported as an error.
* Existential constructors and rank-N types are now groked by the parser
* Some type rendering cleaned up
* `abc' is accepted as well as 'abc' to markup an identifier
* Several bugs fixed, and error messages improved.
